Summer Camp 2014 Information

Edit 0 3 …

Introduction

Summer Camp registration is a two-step process. Step one is turning in your merit badge/course choices for early registration so that they can be reserved at the earliest opportunity. Although you can turn in your choices later in the spring, there is no guarantee that the courses will be available at that time.

The second step is turning in your money and forms. The deadline for these are a courtesy to the scoutmasters. It gives us time to process the payments due the camps, review and submit paperwork by the camp deadlines, and provide comprehensive materials to the scoutmasters who will also be attending.

After the scoutmaster has secured your courses on-line, he will notify you of what you are signed up for and the fees you owe. This is because fees can vary according to your course selection. All checks must be made out to Troop 197.

If you plan on attending summer camp, campouts, high adventure, etc, you must turn in a completed BSA Health form signed by your physician. You must also include a copy of your health insurance card. If you are attending camp, these must be turned in by the deadlines below. The following is a link to the current BSA Health Form for your use;

BSA Health Forms

We will try to post relevant documents as they become available. You will also find information and camp guides in the links provided. Thanks for your support and have a great summer!
